With respect to large samples of $B_c$ mesons expected to be produced at CERN Large Hadron Collider(LHC) and the large branching ratios $Br(B_{c}\to \tau\bar\nu)$ and $Br(B_{c}\to \mu\bar\nu)$, we suggest that $B_c$ purely leptonic decays…

The capabilities of future CP violation experiments in hadron machines are reviewed. Special emphasis is put on the CDF experiment in the run II of the Tevatron, due to start taking data in 2001, and on LHCb and BTeV, on a longer time…
Rare decays of beauty and charm hadrons offer a rich playground to make precise tests of the Standard Model and look for New Physics at the level of quantum corrections. A review of recent LHCb results will be presented.
